A.V.B — The Joyful Life Mantra

Accept Imperfection

This is my core message. It’s a relief to know that we are all inherently imperfect. Perfection is not a human feature. We all are unsure, scared and full of error. That’s ok. That’s how it’s supposed to be. No one is perfect. People living in illusion of perfection are often caught with depression and regret.

Vulnerability is Normal

Recognizing that we are weak, mad and often mistaken inspire compassion for ourselves and empathy for others. This confession of vulnerability is the basis of acceptance, strong relationships, friendship and forgiveness.

Better is Better

Better is magical. Best is sickening and illusionary. Best is about competition. Better is about self-commitment. See what’s better — better parents, siblings, friends, job, home. Understood carefully and seen generously, better offers you the best of life.
